I know about strains. Let's just say I was a hobbyist about a decade ago.
Maybe I am being a knucklehead about this because I've done little research. Maybe I can read on this today. As far as I know, this may be accepted in a lot of the cannabis community.
But the reason that I am leery is that I've been around, I've heard lies for years and no one I've ever known, smoked with, talked to in over 43 years has even had an anecdote to share. I mean if this was happening it would spread like wildfire. ''You know, I have a friend whose brother lives in Canada and smoked a joint with a neighbor who became psychotic.'' You think a story like that wouldn't go viral before we knew what viral was?
I mean, are more people being diagnosed now and at an earlier age? If pot is the scourge of the planet, why aren't these numbers changing? Or are they?
And, the politics of pot is ruthless. If I see anything about this with .gov at the end, well.
Who wants to shut MM down? Big pharm, tobacco, alcohol. Who is funding these studies? I'm just asking?I will read up on this and keep an open mind. I certainly don't want anyone to suffer because of pot or anything else. I'd rather not see anyone under 21 smoking pot or drinking but I was young once and there's no way to stop it.
Time will tell. It's a good discussion here and that matters.
